Focusing on the history of the Ingutsheni Lunatic Asylum (renamed a mental hospital after 1933), situated near Bulawayo in the former Southern Rhodesia, Surfacing Up explores the social, cultural, and political history of the colony that became Zimbabwe after gaining its independence in 1980. The phrase "surfacing up" was drawn from a conversation Lynette A. Jackson had with a psychiatric nurse who used the concept to explain what brought African potential patients into the psychiatric system. Jackson uses Ingutsheni as a reference point for the struggle to "domesticate" Africa and its citizens after conquest. Drawing on the work of Frantz Fanon, Jackson maintains that the asylum in Southern Rhodesia played a significant role in maintaining the colonial social order. She supports Fanon's claim that colonial psychiatric hospitals were repositories for those of "indocile nature" or for those who failed to fit "the social background of the colonial type." Through reconstruction and reinterpretation of patient narratives, Jackson shows how patients were diagnosed, detained, and deemed recovered. She draws on psychiatric case files to analyze the changing economic, social, and environmental conditions of the colonized, the varying needs of the white settlers, and the shifting boundaries between these two communities. She seeks to extend and enrich our understanding of how a significant institution changed the way citizens and subjects experienced the colonial social order.

From the author of the New York Times bestselling novels The Handmaid’s Tale—now an Emmy Award-winning Hulu original series—and Alias Grace, now a Netflix original series. Part detective novel, part psychological thriller, Surfacing is the story of a talented woman artist who goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec. Setting out with her lover and another young couple, she soon finds herself captivated by the isolated setting, where a marriage begins to fall apart, violence and death lurk just beneath the surface, and sex becomes a catalyst for conflict and dangerous choices. Surfacing is a work permeated with an aura of suspense, complex with layered meanings, and written in brilliant, diamond-sharp prose. Here is a rich mine of ideas from an extraordinary writer about contemporary life and nature, families and marriage, and about women fragmented...and becoming whole.

Sixteen-year-olds Zoe and Balt have lived in a mysterious underground research institute all their lives. Now they must escape and find their way to the surface to learn the truth the institute and the fate of the human race. But are they ready to learn the truth about themselves?

PREFACE INTRODUCTION TO ‘CLASS A SURFACING’ ‘Class A surfacing’ is to produce mathematical surfaces to the most exacting standard. Once completed the ‘A Class surface’ is the final output of styling design. These surfaces are the ‘Master’ for making the tools that produces the product itself. ‘Class A’ surfacing is one of the most complex and tedious 3D computer modeling tasks you can do. ‘Class A’ surface development occurs in the final phase of a project, when constraints are much tighter to adhere to. Modeling under these conditions is very hard without adoption of certain ‘surface basics’ rules. 3D computer modeling is still based on the knowledge and skill set of the individual user. Therefore productivity and surface quality is user dependent. The surfacing task can begin from the scan of a physical model, as in this tutorial, but it can also start from 2D sketch or verbal input. In most cases it is the continuation of a concept 3D digital model. Most of the time you will also need to be aware of and include flanges, draft angles, tool split lines and other engineering constraints In the tutorial these are not included. To include them would put even more constraints on the modeling/surfacing itself. This tutorial demonstrates only one small part of ‘class A’ surfacing, but a very important element of creating good quality surfaces When you are starting a project or a part, always take some time to think how you will build this before you start. It is not a good idea to rush in the beginning of a project. To be successful and to achieve that right quality in the time given you need a ‘strategy’. Without this you can find yourself in a corner from which you can never escape a dead end. These points below are, in my opinion, the most important, basic rules to succeed. 􀁳 It is very important to have a strategy on methodology, surface layout and surface construction. 􀁳 Always try to build the surfaces to allow easy modification. 􀁳 Keep the surfaces as simple as possible. 􀁳 Always try to build to an intersection. By following these basic rules you have come a long way to succeeding in your modeling. Good luck.

The more marine biologist Corrie Duval learns about the mysterious sea creatures she discovered, the more questions she has. Where are the creatures coming from? How are they related? And what is Zeballos Artino hiding? Zeb wishes he had the answers to Corrie’s questions, but there is so much he can’t say, and even more that he doesn’t know himself. The glimpse of the woman in the water plagues him with riddles he can’t decipher, and his late father’s translated notebook provides frustrating clues. But when Zeb discovers someone attracting mysterious creatures with the same sonar device installed on his own boat, he and Corrie must race to uncover the truth before the world of the creatures is exposed.

Seeking a life free from pain, Chris returns to his grandfather's cabin on the shores of Wolf Thorn Lake, Maine. When Chris meets Jake, the earthy young man who resides across the lake, Chris faces his most challenging decision yet. Does he continue his life alone, or does he risk his heart and the potential of love he sees illuminated in Jake's warm eyes? A young man running from pain, a rural free spirit with the ability to heal, and a wolf who haunts the shore-line of Wolf Thorn Lake illustrate the endurance of the human heart, the capacity to learn how to love again, and the heart's ability to restore even the most wounded of men.

“[Kathleen Jamie’s] essays guide you softly along coastlines of varying continents, exploring caves, and pondering ice ages until the narrator stumbles over — not a rock on the trail, but mortality, maybe the earth’s, maybe our own, pointing to new paths forward through the forest.” —Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing, “By the Book” in The New York Times Book Review. An immersive exploration of time and place in a shrinking world, from the award-winning author of Sightlines. In this remarkable blend of memoir, cultural history, and travelogue, poet and author Kathleen Jamie touches points on a timeline spanning millennia, and considers what surfaces and what reconnects us to our past. From the thawing tundra linking a Yup'ik village in Alaska to its hunter-gatherer past to the shifting sand dunes revealing the impressiely preserved homes of neolithic farmers in Scotland, Jamie explores how the changing natural world can alter our sense of time. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself. In precise, luminous prose, Surfacing offers a profound sense of time passing and an antidote to all that is instant, ephemeral, unrooted.

In Surfacing, Siri Lindley opens up about her unique celebrity-dappled early life. When and NFL superstar notices her beautiful mother, her idyllic childhood is upended. Glitzy dinner parties and world travel pull her mother away, and Lindley grows up feeling alone and out of place. As her intense loneliness grows into anger, she lashes out against her New England life of privilege. Shy and painfully self-aware, Lindley finds solace in sports, playing field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse at Brown University. But when she misses the cut for the US lacrosse team after college, she is left directionless - until a friend invites her to watch a triathlon. Lindley's dream is reignited and she never looks back. Success doesn't come easily. Lindley fails early and often - brutal swim starts, bike equipment failures at key races, grueling workouts - but it's debilitating anxiety that still haunts her. She turns to unconventional Australian coach, Brett Sutton, who helps her tear up her script of self-doubt and transforms her into a world champion. Lindley retires from the sport at the peak of her success, intent on helping athletes realize their own dreams, and finally finds the courage to step out into her true self and find love as a gay woman. Surfacing is the breathtakingly honest book that shares Lindley's daring journey. She is proof that it's never too late to rewrite your own story and change the thoughts, habits and behaviors that hold you back. Surfacing will inspire you as it shows you how to stop being your own worst enemy and start uncovering your potential.
